Product development
Product developing is the process from product idea to mass production. This is a very important process for inside saigon, because we receive orders from our customers based on this process.
inside saigon operates with a lot of different standard documents and general requirements which will help us to avoid construction- and quality problems.
PSP – Product Specification Paper
For new products we will normally provide a simple information bulletin or PSP to you in order for you to reply on our prices and offer sheets. We have 3 different product specification papers:
• Simple information:
We will normally hand over this document to our partner in the beginning of
the process for a new product. This product specification paper allows us to give our partners proactive solutions for product improvement suitable for your markets. This in order to adapt the product in the best way for our production with the result of achieving the best price.
• PSP light:
PSP light is a PSP with 2d drawings. We either make this by ourselves or we ask our partner the PSP light before first mass production. We are happy to assist and take away the headaches for you.
• PSP:
PSP is the complete product documentation. We make this by ourselves before first mass production for all items in solid wood, MDF and other complicated items.

Packing Requirements
inside saigon is always responsible for packing the items in the best way according to our general requirements and what have been agreed with our partners. All items must be suitable for international transport and warehouse storage. Packing method and materials cannot be changed without written confirmation from the customer. We normally use strong 175lbs carton boxes, styrofoam and plastic wrap. Inside the box is a MDF pallet if the product requires that, for example a sideboard with metal legs.
Samples
All samples ordered from inside saigon will be produced and delivered for the normal price of the product as we offer you in mass production, as we consider this to be our investment in obtaining orders. We do not charge you extra sample fee.
Samples sent to our partners are packed very carefully with extra protection, so it will not be damaged during transport.
We have 5 different samples within the product developing (Material Sample, Production Sample, Master Sample, Sales Samples and Color Sample). After we have finished the sample our QC manager will inspect the sample and make a Sample Report (SR) with comments for any needed rework or/and future improvements. If the sample has defects, the sample must be re-worked or a new sample must be produced.
Assembly instructions
The assembly instruction is very important for inside saigon in order to get a satisfied customer, but also to avoid claims because of wrong and/or difficult assembling. Assembly instruction is always packed together with the fitting bag and always in carton number 1.
Box printing
The box-printing with your shipping marks can be designed by us. That means box printing according to your specifications. Carton prints such as arrows how to place box, fragile etc. is also a standard in our general box label procedure.
Orders
When inside saigon receives an order from our partners, the delivery time will be according to agreed lead time which is stated on the order, see part “Lead-time and ETD”. The customer can also give us the instruction to give the best delivery date. We aim to deliver the exact quantity as stated in the order. If divinations should appear then it must be confirmed by both sides. Normally we revise equally, which means that if more/less space we increase/reduce equally in the various models in order to make the container complete.
Spare Parts
Spare parts will be agreed individually on each order. Every container has an added spare part box.
Spare parts cartons are clearly marked with P/O number and name of the parts inside for easy identification when arriving.
Loading
Optimal loading according to our high standards is very important. Therefore all products must be packed carefully according to our requirements in order to avoid transport damages. Containers must not be stuffed in a way so items will be damaged. We check that no cartons are damaged when loading.
Load ability
Empty space in container is not allowed. In case of empty space will contact the customer for what to add.
Fumigation

Condition of the container
It is always our responsibility to check the container for any leaks and damages on the sides, wall and floor that might damage the goods or the packing. The container must be odorless, clean and dry before use.
Moisture Absorbent Material
In order to prevent cargoes to suffer moisture-/condensation damage we will add dry bags in the container.
Securing the goods
We always make sure that the products are secured in the container so items are not slipping around in container. Items may never expose any people for danger when opening the doors to the container.
